When I got my first router Jenn was terrified of it, it sat on the counter for like 3 weeks before I dared even plug it in to see if it even worked...In hindsight a little silly, but now I got a few of them for different jobs, They are quite powerful and tourqe so keep both hands on it at all times, but since you know where your fingers are it is considerably safer (IMO) than some other machines in the shop...But they like everything do require a healthy dose of respect (and don't scare any bunnies with it, Giggle)
